ATZ sets the modem to however the last Mac program to touch it wanted
it to be -- that doesn't tell us what the settings really are. Maybe
it's setting up the modem for software handshaking, and you never send
an XON? Try typing Control-Q. In any case, you're better off using
"AT&FE0&C1&D2", and adding "cdtrcts" to "/etc/ppp/options", assuming
that you have the "hardware handshaking" cable (which you probably do,
if it works under Mac OS).
